Nice to see...

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

Nice to see...

...a little activity around here again!! Finally, we're back to an entire page of posts being posted on the same day!!

I miss Sarsaffroi.(sp) :-) I hope he didn't give up on this game too early - he was one of its biggest (and most colorful!) fans!

The game has really improved leaps and bounds. I did a one-tick-higher start for the starting galaxy tech with me on basic and normal pirates in a 700 star galaxy - and in the first 10 minutes of play pirates almost wiped out my outlying holdings!! I still have 4 pirates circling me, and it's a really tense situation!! Go Eliott!

Just random thoughts from a random mind.

I have been lurking the forum for some time and waiting for the 'sweet-spot' patch to be released prior to purchasing the game.

I am loving it so far.

I went through the tutorials and dove right in. I thought the AI did a fairly good job of putting my empire together, although I have controlled the recruitment of troops, diplomacy and espionage myself. I will bite off a little bit more (ship/base design) on my next go, now that I know (at least I think I know) what I am doing [:D]

I know it has been said before, but you can really immerse yourself in this game world. I have played other 4X space empire games, from the original MOO onwards, and I am extremely impressed with what the developers have accomplished with DW.

I will also be back here more often to post my ideas and thoughts. I have started playing the game again with the new update and hope to be able to play it a couple of times a week.
